Keegan Wins Vans Park Series Continental Championships (Oceania)

SlGo5qia_400x400Keegan Palmer slayed the competition this weekend at the first stop of the Vans Park Series Continental Championships for Oceania. Even though Keegan is a tour pro he is eligible to compete in the Continentals for a chance to get a golden ticket straight to Worlds. With his first place win (he also qualified first in semi’s), Keegan gets that slot to go to China no matter how he does in the rest of the tour.

Next stop for VPS will be in Brazil.

Great job Keegan!

Keegan Palmer Wins Bowl-A-Rama in Bondi

n6JVjj4Z_400x400Keegan Palmer is the first person to win the amateur contest at Bowl-A-Rama and then win the pro division in the next year. Taking the crown back for Australia (it has been 13 years since an Aussie won the contest), Keegan dominated the entire weekend placing first in qualifiers, first in semis and then taking the top title with a decisive first in the finals. Keegan used an array of back to back to back (and so on and so on) tricks to convince the judges that his lines were the most tech and diverse. 

Amazing work Keegan. Can’t wait to see you skate the rest of contest season including the upcoming Mano A Mano, Air + Style and Vans Park Series.

Palmer Gets Silver at X Games

Playing off the theme of a Viking ship, Keegan was able to bring his signature flow to the competition. Keegan has a banner year this year and we are hopeful to have him skate in the “big show” with the pros in the near future.

Great job Keegan.

The pro’s turned on the heat in the final and Keegan wound up getting fourth overall with a solid couple runs under his belt. As the top placing Australian, Keegan won the crown of Australian Bowl Riding Champ. Not bad for his first go.

Next up this week Keegan will be skating as a pro in the Vans Skate Series. Good luck KP!

Palmer Wins At Bondi!

bowlarama_toutKeegan Palmer entered his last Juniors contest at Bondi and came out on top this last weekend. Qualifying first in a field of some incredible bowl skaters, Keegan won the final on his last run. Falling on his first two runs in the final, Keegan threw up a hail mary and landed banger after banger doing a run a lot of the pros wouldn’t have gone after.

So stoked for Keegan. Next stop Vans Park Series where KP will be skating as a PRO!
